Window Shopping Tour Reveals Host of Trick Utensils and Gadgets Old Standbys of the Kitchen Become Modernized, and There's Many a New Help By VIRGINIA ROSS Home Economic! Editor THERE'S no doubt of It, along about thla time of year woman'! favorite outdoor sport la window hopping! And what a hoat of things we find to draw the dollars and dimes out of our purses. The allure lies not alone In gay print frocks and frothy evening dresses we expect that but when pro saic tools like ' Virginia Ross spatulas and Ice picka become Intriguing, what Is a poor girl to do butr-buy, buy, buy! Beauty combined with the utili tarian aeema to be the keynote of the tools of the homemaker'a trade. Spatula, mixing spoon, fork and sieve appear with conical handles; Ice picks, choppers and the like with a gay knob neatly balanced atop the "business end." And with all their attractiveness, there is such a lightness and bal ance to the Implement that It's like a feather In one's hand. And the colors! There's green, a lovely lettuce green. A soft yel low like sunbeams, a cherry red that adds the touch to the kitchen that lipstick does to milady. Speaking of color, the rubber sink accessories In color are something to talk about Drainboard mat, plate scraper, sink strainer, and there's even a dustpan. I've seen these In red, black and sort of an Ivory. There seems to be no wear out to them. Of course you've seen the enamel pots, qulto heavy and with a steam-aeal type of cover, that come In colors that fairly make one's mouth water. They're built on modernistic lines and have measurement indicators In side, so I '"it you no longer cook by guest , jrk. STREAMLINES, TOO Aluminum utensils are more beautiful than ever. I've always loved their shining beauty. But what with streamlining taking the country by atorm, they ap pear now with streamline handles, a bit of smartness added to their efficiency. Another Important fea ture with one line Is the perfectly smooth bottom, omitting the old time circular ridge that niade cleaning a bit difficult. Rounded corners are an aid, also. While we're on the subject, do be watching for the new glass saucepan designed for top-of-the-stove cooking. It comes with a removable handle. With a slight pressure of the thumb you havo a glass baking dish for use In tho oven or on the table. Any fuel may be used.

It's so much fun to be able to see the food cooking, and a joy to know it's cooking. A kitchen stool which is actu ally comfortable has two little steps that fold up when not In use. It's sturdy enough to sup port the weightiest reacher-upper. Comes in nice colors, but I saw one painted to order t'other day brown with a white polka-dot trim. It was lovely. There's a combination small 'floor brush and dustpan that's the trickiest thing for brushing up a few crumbs. No bending. No propping it up. It stands alone. PASTRY CLOTH Why I think of It now 1 don't know (unless It Is that I'm hun gry for rhubarb pie), but there's a pastry cloth that betters the canvas and. white ribbed cotton stocklng-wlth-its-foot-cut-off alli ance I have long advocated. There are little rubber suction cups at tached to each corner of the hemmed canvas cloth. These hold the cloth perfectly smooth to any kind of smooth surface, tile, metal, porcelain and the like. Of course there's the (tocklngette cover for the rolling pin, giving It a padded effect, s'posed to be a boon to husbands! Actually, Emallne, this type of thing means that the meshes of the cloth hold the flour, releasing it as needed. You Just naturally can't work too much flour In as you do with the floured-board method. And of course you just roll the whole thing up when you're through with It. Leaving the kitchen a minute (or are we?), the newest thing I've seen is a lamb's-wool brush for cleaning Venetian blinds. First It appeared with a short handle, about like the average duster. Now It comes with a longer handle so that you reach up In stead of climbing. . The nicest thing I con think of right now, outside of a new hat, is to have Venetian blinds, which most folks are putting in their living rooms, in my kitchen. They're decorative, cool-looking, and let the light In while keeping sun and glare out. I'd havo thnm In white with red bandings. But then you know my falling for red. Or will before long. There's noth ing like red to lend gaiety to the kitchen. AND GADGETS There are gadgets galore. My pet of the moment Is a bean stringer that snips off the ends as well as slicing them. A potato projector, shall we call It, keeps you at a safe distance from hot spots In connection with potatoes and beets, flipping over chops, et cetera (as you'll find out). Yours but to jab and squeeze. A cheese board and cutter, diminutive as It Is, provides thin slices of your favorite cheese with no effort at all. Grand for the bufTot, (able. Heavy, well-seamed oiled paper garbage bags will keep your gar bago pall In the pink of condi tion. Neither dampness nor grease penetrates their fastnesses! There are waxod-papcr sink strainers, too. Paper dust cloths, parchment cooking paper with Its hundred and one uses. Paper products ga lore, In fact. Egg baskets are gay In color, neat In design. Vegetable bins are designed for households given to potatoes, carrots, onions and such, though a bachelor household could use one as a tiling cabinet for lemons and for mull. There's the Ice-cube cutter de signed for uso with the tee re frigerator, and a freezing tray for desserts and salads that does a grand job of It In thla same household necessity, which by the way. has been dressed up so much that you can't tell It from Its rival sister, the automatic refrigerator. There are shelving and gay oilcloth covers, pottery and quaint prints, tnweltngs and pot holders, painted shelves and cannlstrr sets, cnbtnets, and but why go on? You're missing half the fun, just -listening. Slip on your new spring sailor with Its snood (new, ah yes!), or last year's felt, and come with me window shopping! HAWAIIAN TARTS HAWAII AN Tarts: DrainaNo 2'i can of sliced pineapple. Roll rastry fairly thin. Cut In rounds about sable size as pine apple. Prick and hake until golden brown. When cool, put together sandwich fashion with pineapple slice as the filling. Real together 4 egg whites, add cup sugar, a drop or two of almond extract, and fold In S cup coconut.

Handy Neiv Utensil .r ., r,.: l.jw 'rra w .rrrv'-- New Is the design of this aluminum soup kettle, which is also handy when preserving days roll around. Rounded corners and smart handles are distinctive touches. Cooks' Kitchen Toufs Conducted by : Virginia Ross ORANGE and sherry gelatine Is smart enough for com pany dessert. To a package of lemon flavored gelatine, add 1 cup of boiling water. When it la dissolved and fairly cool, add cup orange juice and 3 or 4 table spoons of sherry. Chill. Unmold and serve with whipped cream. For Angels-on-Horaeback, wrap bacon around a fat oyster, Bkewer on with a toothpick and broil until the bacon la cooked. Serve on toast strips. A bridge luncheon dish that's sure to please is made by placing on a luncheon plate a thin slice of cold cooked ham, surrounded with watercress. On the ham, put a slice of pineapple. Cream to gether a package of cream cheese, teaspoon onion juice or minced, onion, a bit of cream, some minced parsley. Shape into small balls. Place on the pineapple. Serve with crisp little wafers, a gelatine dessert and coffee. Baking powdef biscuit seasoned with poultry seasoning (V4 tea spoon added to about 2 cups of . flour or mix) makes a grand topping for a tasty meat pie.

Several thicknesses of waxed paper fastened on tightly with a rubber band make a fine cover. To dice onion easily and quickly, make several cuts into the top of the onion, then several more at right angles, like a checker board. Then as you slice the onion, the little dice are already cut and more of the onion juice la saved. Some people like to keep a slice of fresh bread in the con tainer with their soft cookies so they won't dry out. Others say that an orange placed In the cooky jar gives an unusual flavor and does the trick as well. Just for a change, use honey Instead of sugar to sweeten your next baked custard. Same amount Brown sugar added to the breakfast rolled oats gives an un usual and ever so good flavor. Add a few chopped dates, too. Use chopped prunes Instead of raisina in cakes or cookies. They sometimes require a slight amount of steaming. Of The Week 7. LLd.CfLO' TOPS In sophistication is this swank Cocktail gown. No. 116. in which any Deb or Collegiate will appear her very smartest.

NS 117 FASHION TIPS BY MISCHA International Authority The questions of color In the costume, always of paramount Importance to the well-dressed woman, is dealt with here by Mischa, the International fash Ion authority, whose Instructive articles appear In this maga zine weekly. IN planning her wardrobe, the woman has a number of Im portant points to consider. Bal ance and harmony are two out standing phases in the problem of being smartly and correctly attired. All colors used must, through the very fact that they are to gether, achieve a balance. This is true with regard to both coolness and warmth. If wisely used, green, violet, and orange, will be harmonious in their relationship. Skillfully blended colors In printed or woven fabrics are an excellent medium through which to attain harmony. COLOR CONTRAST A striking contrast is attained through the use of two decidedly different hues; one a warm color, the other cool. This combination may not be becoming if both colors used are of equal bright ness, since the effect la apt to be too bold for use in the average costume. However, the accent color may be vivid providing that the basic hue Is somewhat grayed. Green-blue and orange, yellow and blue, or blue-green and red, are a few examples of this type contrast. Accent on opposite colors is of great value, since in this way many women are enabled to use colors, In their dress, which otherwise might be unflattering to their personality. Some women do not appear at their best in cool colors. This type, through employment of the above described contrasts, may discover that blue, orange and yellow are becoming when used near the face. If the woman desires to use three or even four colors, she should be sure that they are all widely different in character. In this way, one color will supply what another lacks. The only ex ception to this rule being in the case of neighboring or analogous colors. BALANCE OF COLOR Materials of metallic character are not kind to the face or figure and caution is advised In the use of such fabrics. The same care la necessary in the use of blue and green by persons with sallow skin. Brown or tan Is also un flattering when worn by indi viduals with Imperfect or sallow Kitchen Technique By Virginia Ross ' PANCAKE sausage rolls for Sunday morning breakfast or a simple supper: Cook pancakes a little larger than usual. When done, place one link sausage, fried a golden brown, on each pancake and roll up. Serve at once with warm maple syrup or honey In which butter has been melted. Saute canned apricot halves In a little white wine. Serve as a garnish for veal shoulder roast. For a hasty supper serve canned chill con carne, heated through, in a rice ring. Celery stuffed with anchovy cheese mix. Blend together 1 pack age of cream cheese, 3 teaspoons anchovy paste. Fill hollows of celery with this. Serve chilled. Slice canned corned beef hash, brown In butter. Place each slice on a round of buttered toast. Top with a poached egg. Pour over all white sauce to which has been added 2 teaspoons prepared mus tard. Did you ever, in baking apples, place a maraschino cherry on top with some of the juice poured into the center of the apple? Cinna mon candies are good, too, in the center. For a hasty cake filling try spreading apricot, date or fig Jam between the layers and top ping the cake with powdered sugar (sifted on), or with Jam and coconut HAIR COMING OUT?

This is also true It the eyes are lacking in brilliancy. Balance is a term which is ap plied to a combination of con trasting colors. We cite as ex amples, black and white, blue : ' and orange, and red and green, f Similarity in intensity and area Is necessary In order to balance color In harmony. In the event that dissimilar tones are em ployed, the intensity must vary In Immense proportion to the area. We are all familiar with the effect of a very strong individual upon a person of weak character. The colorless person becomes weaker due to the contrast. This same rule holds true In the realm 1 If mm I'f, MVir This all-ovr figured pattern is this season's smartest mode. The large, full sleeve adds a soft, feminine touch to the otherwise very simple, straight lines of the gown, 4JW of color. A deep, striking color against a paler color of the same hue only succeeds in making the latter color weaker. Dead white is most trying to anyone, wi th the possible excep tion of th-ise fortunate ones who possess flawless skin. White, worn by anyone but these ex cepted few, should have a cream or pink tint. Two-toned effects are most be coming for the pre-maturciy gray womau. This aim may be obtained eithet by putting color over color or by selecting fabrics where the brilliant tone is the one interwoven.
